Im pretty sure Tracy plays this in the key of F
I prefer to play it in G
Intro: G-Am-C-D-C-D
G
I was ten years old the day I got caught
Am
with some dime store candy that I never bought
C G
I hung my head and I faced the wall
C D
as Daddy showed me wrong from right
G
He said this hurts me more than it does you
Am
there's some things Son that you just don't do
C G
is anything I'm saying, gettin through
C D
said Daddy I can see the light
Chorus
G
oh, lessons learned, man they sure run deep
Em
they don't go away and the don't come cheap
C G Am
oh there's no way around it, cause this world turns
D
on lessons learned
Verse 2
Grandaddy was a man I loved
he bought my first ball and glove
he even taught me how to drive his truck
circlin' that old town square
he spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him 'cause I knew it all
but I sure listened when I got the call
that he was no longer there
Repeat Chorus
